Everyone seems to be out of stock unless you guys can help me. The only one I could find was a DPMS which I really dont want. Please help guys

Any particular reason?
A gas tube's a gas tube-as long as it's dimensionally correct, AFAIK they are all the same.

I just got one from JP Enterprises. I think they are all pretty much the same, and the JP is a couple $ more then most, shipping is near $10 
But they are in stock….

the only reason i dont want the DPMS one is because I saw a picture of a guy who burnt one out. I know I will prolly never do it but it would always be on my mind. Im weird like that

had to have been doing c mag dumps on full auto to burn out a gas tube and that would happen regardless of brand. Unless you get one that's melonited (I'm not sure of the benefit of that) they are all the same. I hear you though I read one story somewhere about any brand and i shy away from it after that.

I have one from dpms, and it seems like the surface is doing something. I don't know if its organic dust that was attracted to oil (?) and then started charring, or if its something to do with the metal. I've been meaning to pull the handguard off and have a look.
The one I ordered from bravo company is excellent, though.

I'd be surprised if DPMS makes their own gas tubes.
